I recently installed AlegroCart in order to develop a payment module. I was able to install the software correctly and get quite far into development but I have turned my development machine on this-morning and Alegro cart is not running correctly. When I attempt to access the store homepage or the admin homepage (after logging in; I am able to login) then a white screen - no output - is displayed. Furthermore, the page is taking much longer to load. Close to 30 seconds, perhaps.

I have reinstalled AlegroCart (with a new database) numerous times now, thinking that I must have corrupted something inadvertantly, but am still getting this problem. The Apache error log says nothing and the access log gives me a 200 status for the requested page. The AlegroCart logs are empty and no PHP warnings are displayed (error_reporting is set to E_ALL | E_STRICT and display_errors is set to 1 both locally and globally).

I attempted a little debugging and found that it was the controller's dispatch() method that was causing the delay. See the two excerpts of code and their output below:

I am curious.When you did your dump, what where the arrays you got in the 2 functions.

And yes, as Leo pointed out, I had issues developing the new sessions class with Firefox.The cache systems in Firefox 8.0 and previous has bugs. It screws up Javascript as well. I had Issues with the new CKeditor as well. Clear the cache and you should be back to normal.
